              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky, A. Shugart
Some software issues (Fritz had been working on some stuff during the day
and sent instructions in case of problems) at the start of the night
delayed us slightly from getting started on time.
Closed at 21:15 due to clouds and we stayed closed the remainder of the
night due to clouds/rain.  We gave up at 05:05.
